Mid October as the cold wind hit my face as i jogged through the park on my daily routines. It was cloudy and i watched as the leaves hit the ground around me. It was my favorite season fall was i loved the colors it gave off and the weather it put me at ease. I jogged quietly with headphones in i began thinking back to my past ive had a hard time i lost alot things that i never thought would happen did and i was forever changed.

Thinking back to were i was now i left my hometown for sometime thinking i could start over forget what happened but it was alot more difficult i missed my family i didnt keep in touch with hardly anyone it was probably for the best anyways. But yet here i was feeling lost and confused about myself all over again i worked as a receptionist at one of my dads firms and after hours i was at the gym letting out my anger. I was currently seeing someone for a little over a year now and things were great for us sure he hated that i was hardly home but he understood why i was the way i was.

As i reached my apartment i unlocked my front door stepping inside shutting the door behind me locking it i sighed making my way to the restroom i stripped out of my jogging gear and began running the water as i looked over myself in the mirror all my eyes drifted too was the scar right above my hip. I clenched the sink as i thought back to that day..

Flashback

"Ezekiel" i screamed as the men grabbed me tightly by my waist as i squirmed to be realised. His eyes wide as the men hit him over and over again i cried "stop!" I cried loudly feeling a hand come across my face. " Stop please dont hurt her its between us she has nothing to do with this" he said as he began spitting blood out of his mouth. The men laughed as one began pulling a blade out of his pocket walking towards me " Well looks like someone was in the wrong place at the wrong time huh?" He smiled running the knife over my chest stopping before my breast i froze " I guess you'll have to do how do you know him?" He questioned grabbing my face pointing to Ez i shuddered "He's my bestfriend we grew up together" i whispered "Mmmm let this be a lesson Ezekiel you pay me what you owe me cause you just cost a life" he said loudly thats when he turned to me i bit my lip turning to look at him " its ok Ez " thats when i felt it the sharp pain in my stomach as i looked down at the blade it my stomach as quick as he pulled it out he ran it through my skin as i yelped in pain clenching my blood soaked shirt as i fell to the grown all i could her where his screams "No oh god No" his sobs as i stared at him the men realised him and he ran to me scooping me up removing his shirt applying pressure as the men walked out laughter filling the room thats when it all faded...

Letting go of the breath i was holding i fell to the floor remembering the night i died. Doctors were abled to bring me back but the last i heard he disappeared my bestfriend ran out of the hospital thinking i died and i havent seen him sense. My parents didnt give up on my case and come to find out those men were hired to kill Ezekiel that would of cost his life but instead costed mine all cause i happened to be there at the wrong time.

I pushed myself up as i stepped into the shower i became numb to emotions after everything sad thing was Ezekiel thought i was dead and i played it off i never bothered to reach out instead we covered it up planted a fake grave in my hometown so no one could find me sad thing was it was about to change. I let the water hit my body as i washed myself i rinsed quickly wrapping a towel around my body as my phone rang i answered.  "Hola hija como estas " my dad spoke "estoy bien papa y ustedes" i smiled " We're good mija listen we need to talk" my dad sighed i remained quiet " princessa we need you to come home its the firm its not doing so good so i need to let people go i need your help" i sighed "of course pops ill be there first thing tomorrow ill catch a flight tonight listen about the firm i appreciate the opportunity but i cant keep doing it" i frowned " Thats ok mija just get here we miss you!" He laughed i smiled "see you soon dad" i smiled hanging up as i dropped my phone on my bed i got dressed in sweats and a tank top and began packing my things. I was terrified for my return absolutely terrified but i had to do this my family need me how i was gonna explain this to my boyfriend i had no idea he was out of town on some business trip and i wasnt abled to call his boss never allowed it. We always had to wait weeks ends till we talked so i wrote a note out in case i wasnt back on time then i began looking at flights as tears formed my eyes. Was i ready to comfornt the pain yet? Guess it was time to find out...
